That's really weird. Did you uninstall all your old video drivers before installing the new ones? From what I read on the problem, it's because there...

I swear moms are the enemy of all that is righteous. Mine did the exact same thing with my old NES, Sega, and Playstation consoles. I think she gave them to one of my dipshit cousins who probably used them either as chew toys or something to pee on.

I tried the Heavy Rain demo. I think it's amazing. I'm tired of shooters, rpgs, and everything in between, and this game seems to fit my current gaming needs. They did a great job with the ambient sounds, too. I played it in 5.1 and everything sounded awesome.

At any rate, I'd pick an R8 over any Aston other than, maybe, the Vantage. It has awesome performance, a unique and modern style, it's much more practical, and costs less....

I've read some long-term tests on the R8, and snow (provided you're not plowing through inches of it) won't be a problem. Just get proper tires and enjoy making rooster-tails.
I'd be nervous of using it as a daily driver, though. Some idiot will put a ding into it soon enough, and you'll probably rash the wheels within a month.

I loved the R8 V10 + ZR1 road test on Top Gear.
